Generally I really like #DamiLee's #YouTube videos but this one, along with the video extolling the virtues and wonders of a very inaccessible house she's proudly designing, reveal what to me seems like a lack of connection to a grounded reality that accounts for real people living real lives.

Current #AR and #VR #tech isn't practical in public environments, and what those #technologies may ultimately provide can't ever transcend the realities of physical spaces.

Meta's wild prototype Flamera headset looks straight out of a sci-fi film.

And the strange, bug-eyed lens design isn't just for fun. The Flamera's odd lens is specifically designed to guide light in a way that defeats the perspective problems that most AR headsets suffer.

It's an alternative to the Meta Quest Pro and upcoming Apple Vision Pro, both of which try to crush the perspective problem with raw computational power.

So far all of my life's work has been gobbled up by these tech bros. #VR, #AR, and #AI get tossed into the worthless pile while I've been using all of it daily. What I'm using it for and what they are promising are radically different but it still gets grouped together.

I'm still quite shocked and pissed off by this bad news : the layoff of the #ThirdRoom team and indefinite pause on the project, due to lack of funds ... : apparently the main funds providers are diverting their attention from one hype to another (metaverse to AI) while there are actual productive usecases for the tech developed already (but needs some brushing)
and @EU_Commission @EC_DIGIT @EC_NGI funds are totally not adequate to support this :/ what a waste 🥶 #vr #ar #metaverse #floss #libre

@kierkegaank Don’t discount entertainment. #AR might (stress might) yield some interesting twists beyond gaming. As for #AI that will yield entertainment as well, once it crashes and burns and takes so much with it.

I’m a bit of a negative Nancy and looking at the 2 BIG tech trends now I’m not sure what’s what with my biases

With #AI I see a new phase of automation of administrative work, but just a support tool for less strictly defined tasks. You’ll still need professional humans to do the actual work when it’s not highly procedural

With #AR I can’t see convincing use cases beyond commercial telepresence in soulsucking meetings, and $$ gaming

Am I too Nancy or are we seeing #Nvidia and #Apple peak now?

And now to something completely different: for a project I am looking for AR/XR glasses with the following features: camera with the abilty to live stream the content to a remote audience, two way audio connection with this audience, and ideally the option to read/see feedback from the audience on the AR display. If there is a very robust and convincing solution without the latter, maybe audio feedback is enough, too. What would you recommend?

Streetartwall. On the outer wall of a modern, nested gray brick building with many rectangular windows is a 3D mural of a giant "reset" button sprayed / painted. The red button is in a, also painted, glass box and floats there impressively in the middle of the front of the building. A stylish yellow and black signal tape frames the whole thing. The mural was equipped with a scan function to see a projection. Then the button is pressed, it glows green and the whole house is overgrown with plants.
Info: A shout out to action to protect and restore the relationship with Earth's nature. Extra with this mural is that the painting will come to life with Augmented Reality..By scanning the painting with a smartphone or tablet, you can see how the painting will come to life.

Watching anime and listening to music while wearing VR goggles. 🥰💕✌️

So after a bit of tweaking I finished my AR-15 CQC (Close Quarter Combat). The main issue with the old configuration was the Monstrum 3X had really poor eye-boxing and the color was off.

Changes from the earlier configuration:

* replaced the Monstrum 3x magnifier with a Sig Sauer Juliet3 flip-to-side magnifier

* Added hybrid 3-point sling

* Moved red dot and juliet3 closer to the eye giving it priority over the 45 degree backup irons in terms of placement

* Removed fingershelf from 45 degree fore grip.

「 The Ford Pinto–esque failure of this enterprise, finally put to bed by Zuckerberg himself in May, cost people their jobs, investors their money, people their time.

I'm excited to reveal my 92nd MOULE release:

🔥 REALITY COLLAPSE 🔥

Out on August 4, it is #ElectronicMusic featuring :Strattzr: @Strattzr and :Robin: @Robin, two foxes passionate about AR and VR.

"Reality Collapse" was coined by Jack Clark, the former policy director of #OpenAI. It's about the end of reality caused by generative #AI combined with #VR and #AR reality generation tech. :StrattzrVR: :RobinRainbow:

PRE-SAVE:
⏩ distrokid.com/hyperfollow/moule/reality-collapse ⏪ #Music #Art #Artist

The promo video for my upcoming release "Reality Collapse". Its thumbnail shows its cover art depicting two anthropomorphic cartoon fox characters:

1. At the front to the left is Strattzr, wearing a black and orange checkerboard-patterned VR headset over his eyes with a white number 15 on it, with a poker face expression. His head is inside a transparent white-outlined cube surrounded by three black boxes floating around it. He looks to the upper-right of the artwork. He is wearing a dark grey jacket and white t-shirt of the Gamer Legion of Hasty Foxes (GLHF) logo underneath. Strattzr also wears gaming computer as a backpack.

2. Robin, the fox in the back to the right. He wears a pair of AR glasses called Visionaria projecting a holographic plate of fish and chips above his head which he stretches up feverishly towards it. He wears a yellow v-neck and grey cargo pants.

The pair are in a black and orange virtual reality world surrounded by cubes and symbols of computing and surveillance all while the background is on fire.

In this video's thumbnail, and shown in the video, a QR code linking to its pre-save page is shown, as well as the phrase "REALITY COLLAPSE" in white slanted block font with each letter backwards. It also appears in this style on the cover artwork as well. Below the QR code is wavy text reading "OUT ON FOURGUST 2023". All text is wavy.

The background of this video is a blurred version of the cover art combined with a subtle abstract rainbow glow effect.

So, I’m low-key thinking of writing my first-ever graphics-heavy software. (Specifically, to do with VR / UIs, but not gaming.)

Thing is, my experience is with PLT & compilers, distsys, FOSS … but _extremely_ not graphics, GPUs, or single-host performance of pretty much any kind.

I need advice. If I want to learn some relatively-low-level graphics stuff, but I have _zero_ relevant background; where do I start?

Any resources for me (tutorials, books, well-known starter projects?)

(Also, any Mastodon accounts I should follow on this topic? Poke me if you're into this stuff and I'll follow you! :P)

My interview with Anthony Burchell about #WordPress powered spatial computing (AR/VR/XR) is up now and we've posted a transcribed version on https://torquemag.io/2023/07/press-this-xr-and-wordpress/ #XR #VR #AR #VisionPro

Apple’s Vision Pro could bring a culture of surveillance unlike anything we’ve ever imagined

My latest for COSMOS Weekly - because surveillance is _how_ #AR works.

If you are interested in replication studies and XR you should definitely submit to and attend the 3rd workshop on Replication in Extended Reality (WoRXR) at IEEE ISMAR 2023.

The workshop website is here: https://sites.google.com/view/worxr23/home

I've been really enjoying this Youtube series on Apple’s AR tooling. It started before the #AppleVisionPro and #visionOS were announced but it's covering the entire process of building an #AR game for iOS in #Swift, starting with the 3D models. It is one of the great recent examples that is all-in on #SwiftUI too. #iOSDev https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOsr5_dgp7A

Google is no longer building its own augmented reality glasses.The company has chosen to focus on #AR software instead. https://www.engadget.com/google-is-no-longer-building-its-own-augmented-reality-glasses-062555498.html

I def want to go into more creative prototyping for #ar and #vr with tools such as #figma, but I have no idea where to start. If someone knows something, let me know :)

Google is reportedly cancelling their AR project Iris. I REALLY HOPE Iris was their mixed reality ski goggle headset, and not the simpler glasses shown here demoing real time translation.

I owned the Focals by North glasses, and I can't tell you how transformative that experience was. It was NOT any kind of real AR. It was a simple heads up display, with a UI like a smartwatch, but at eye level. It was amazing.

I truly believe we're skipping an INCREDIBLY important step trying to race to magic sci-fi AR. So many interactions with our technology would be wonderfully streamlined with a simple graphic or text at eye level.

Here's the article on Google Iris https://www.businessinsider.com/google-ar-iris-augmented-reality-smart-glasses-2023-6

Apple is the latest tech company to release a headset and call it the future of computing. But just because Tim Cook wants you to put a screen on your face doesn’t mean you have to.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @brianmerchant about Apple’s Vision Pro, the isolating vision it offers, and why we shouldn’t hesitate to oppose it.

I was thrilled to chat with @markhurst about Apple’s Vision Pro headset and its vision for the future of computing. We agree it shouldn’t be embraced, but ridiculed to try to stop it from being entrenched!
